OK, the AP article is from early May and talks about the rate being more than the government estimate of 1-5,000 barrels per day.

We KNOW the rate is more like 50,000 barrels and BP is catching about 15,000 of that they hope to catch 90% this month.

So the riser leaks are unrelated to the total blowout leaking millions of barrels scenario.

IMHO the article posted above is largely BS, the relief wells are designed to kill the well far below the rock fissures discussed in the article.

Hope you/\’re right. BTW — this isn’t my rant.

How do we know this, if you don't mind my asking?

To work. The relief well needs to have an intact bore above where it penetrates.
